"Oh, yes, that’s one thing which I do regret. Yes, you are right. You see, at that time, what happened was—and I didn’t realise it because I was not watching it closely enough—is that this India Against Corruption movement was heavily propped up by the BJP and the RSS."
"This became clear later on. Unfortunately that movement led indirectly to the rise of Narendra Modi because it destroyed the Congress."
"It helped the BJP and Modi to come to power, who have emerged as far greater threats to the country, to our democracy, to our whole culture, than the Congress could have been, or was."
I hope all Bhakt youngsters who are agitated over #pubgban realise that a 4 hour notice of #lockdown left lakhs of poor on the roads, /1
a 4 hour notice of #Demonetisation left lakhs of small businessmen begging in banks for depositing & then withdrawing their own hard-earned money./2
Modi has used this shock and awe policy to leave #Kashmir in seige & let #Kashmiris bleed.
His "suddennness" of Demonetisation left the economy in shambles far before covid hit our country. /3
Indian govt is battling economic crisis caused by the #COVID19 pandemic by relying on the banking sector which is already wounded due to rising bad loans./1
The pre-crisis challenges for youth are now amplified since COVID-19 hit. As many as 41 lakh youths in India have lost their #jobs due to the COVID-19 #pandemic, majority of whom worked in farming and construction./2
24 %of the households of students in India have internet access and in urban areas, 42 % of households have access to the internet as compared to 15 %in rural areas, this online education is catering to the needs of a chosen few./3
Barring 1or 2 States in India, every State has fcuked up with #COVID19 tackling due to unplanned lockdown, messy implementation, inadequate funds, no consideration for poor
+ our Cent. Govt is fcuking up with the sinking economy.
+ our neighbours are scaring the sh*t out of us.
+ Modi govt is continuing with its theatrics and propaganda rubbing salt & mirchmasala on our wounds.
We are a fcuked up nation.
We will expose ourselves with our rising covid cases soon.
What can we expect from a PM who propagated the foolish theory of thali banging in the midst of 12 hour Janta curfew on 22/3 when we had not even started our covid battle. Whose efforts were we applauding at that stage?
What did we bang our thalis for?
What were we celebrating?
Balls of cement powder mixed with flour are kept as bait to get rid of rats in villages. Rats get killed after consuming the balls & the rodent menace is thus checked. Squirrels fall victim to these poisoned balls at times./1
Only difference being, humans are vocal in their empathy when squirrels die....but not when rats are killed...rats writhe in agony too, rats do have babies, pregnant female rats do exist. /2
But can you hold the cement accountable just because you perceive rats as a nuisance while squirrels cute!/3
When Modi announced a 14 hour #JantaCurfew, did he expect the whole of #coronavirus in india to die/vanish in 12 hours really? No
When Modi gave a 4 hour notice for nationwide #lockdown on 24th March by allowing elite to settle in their cosy homes, did he feel migrants would not be seen & heard at all? No.
When Modi announced #lockdownindia & invoked Mythology (Mahabharat war of 18 days) to claim that fighting against Coronavirus will take 21 days, did he believe himself? No.
